Nohoʻia ma ka'ākau'ākau o ka māpana Mpumalanga o'Akelika Hema,ʻo ka Blyde River Canyon ka meaʻekolu ke kahawai i ka honua. Loaa i 16 mau mile / 25 mau mika ka lōʻihi a me ka mamao o 2,460 kapuaʻi / 750 mika ka hohonu,ʻo ia ka pae honua āpau loa loa. ʻO ia kahi māhele o ka Drakensberg e hahai ana i ke ala o ka muliwai Blyde, kahi e kū nei ma luna o nā pali hīnaʻi i ke kaiʻo Blyderivierpoort a me ka lush lalo ma lalo.
No ka lehulehu o nā malihini kipa i'Akelika Hema,ʻo ia kekahi o nā mea iʻikeʻia loa a me kekahi o nā kūʻai kūʻokoʻa nani loa e hāʻawiʻia e ka'āina.
Kaʻike o Canyon
ʻO Geologically, ua hoʻomakaʻia ka moʻolelo o ke kuamo i nā miliona miliona mau makahiki aku nei i ka manawa i hoʻokumuʻia ai ka Drapensberg espepili i ka wā i hoʻomaka ai ka wāwahiʻana o ka supercontinent kahiko o Gondwana. I ka wā ma mua,ʻo ka laina kuhi mua i hana i ka hoʻokuʻuʻia i luna i ka hopena o ka hana honua a me ka'ānaiʻiaʻana, e hana ana i nā pali kūlana kiʻekiʻe e hana i ke kahawai i mea nui i kēia lā. I kēia mau lā, ua hiki i ke kahawai a me nā wahi haʻahaʻa e pili kokoke ana i ka hoʻolakoʻana i ka hale hoʻomaha a me nā mahi mahiʻai momona a me nā wahi e huli ai no nā hanauna he nuiʻole o nā lāhui'ōiwi.
I ka makahiki 1844, ua kapaʻia ke kahawaiʻo Blyde e kekahi hui o nā mea pelekane o Dutch i noho ma laila ma ka kaliʻana i ka hoʻi mai o nā lālā o lākou mai kahi huakaʻi hele i Delagoa Bay (i kapaʻiaʻo Maputo Bay, ma Mozambique).
ʻO ka inoaʻo ka "muliwai o ka hauʻoli" a e pili ana i ka hauʻoli i konoʻia ai ka pāʻina waʻa i ka home. Ua hala lākou i kahi lōʻihi, a ua make lākou -ʻo ia ke kumu i kapaʻia ai ke Awaʻo Treur, e pili ana i ka muliwaiʻo Blyde,ʻo "River of Sorrow". I ka makahiki 1965, ua palekanaʻia he 29,000 heketa o ke kuamo a me nā wahi a puni e lilo ana i wahi o ka Waiwai Kūloheloheʻo Canyon.
Nā meaola o Blyde River
Mālama kēia pale i ka uluʻana o nā'ōiwi'ōiwi, i kākoʻoʻia e ka nui o nā nohona likeʻole i loaʻa ma nāʻano likeʻole ma ke kahawai. ʻO nā lālā ulu a me ka wai nui e kōkua i ka manu nui o nāʻano antelope, e like me ka klipspringer, ka mauna kuahiwi, ka wai wai, ka wildebeest blue a me kaʻaoʻao hema. He homeʻo Blyderivierpoort Damopopona a me nā koloka,ʻoiai eʻikeʻia nāʻano'ōpiopioʻelima o South Africa i loko o ka Waiwaiʻo Nature Canyon.
ʻO nāʻano o Avian iʻoi aku ka maikaʻi i kēia mau mea, e lilo ana i kahawaiʻo Blyde i mea e hiki ai i nā manu lele . ʻO nāʻano'ē aʻe,ʻo ia nō ka lawaiʻa lawaiʻa a Pel a me ka mea'ahuʻula e hoʻonele,ʻoiaiʻo nā pali pali o ke kuamoʻo e hoʻokumu i nā kumu kūlohelohe maikaʻi loa no ka'ōloheloheʻo Cape Vulture. ʻO ka mea kaulana loa, mālama ka'āina mālama i ka wahi hānau hānau nui o ka'Āina Hema o'Atelika Hemaʻo ka meaʻawaʻawaʻo Taita.
Nā Kūlana Hiʻona
He kaulana kaulanaʻo Blyde River Canyon no kāna mauʻoihana hoʻonaʻauao kūikawā. Ua loaʻa kekahi o kēia mau mea i ko lākou kūlana pono'ī, e like me ke kiʻekiʻe o ke kuahiwi,ʻo Mariepskop, a me nāʻekolu Rondavels. ʻO ka mua he pihi kiʻekiʻe he 6,378 kapuaʻi / 1,944 mika a ua kapaʻiaʻo ia ma muli o ke aliʻiʻo Pulanaʻo Maripe Mashile.
ʻO ka hope o kēia hope, ua pili iʻekolu mau piko āpau e pili ana i nā hale kuʻuna o nā maka'āinana a kapaʻiaʻo ia ma hope oʻekolu mau wahine a Maripe. ʻO ka mākaʻikaʻiʻekolu ma Three Rondavels kahi i manaʻoʻia he kūpono loa o kahi.
ʻO kekahi mauʻoihana lookoʻo koʻikoʻi nui kahi i laweʻia ma Bourke's Luck Potholes, he mau punawai hāpapa a me nā luawai wai i hoʻokaheʻia e nā kahawai ma ke kahawai o nā muliwai Blyde a me Treur. Ke kapaʻia nei kēiaʻano'āina ma hope o ka mea hoʻolalemuʻo Tom Bourke, ka mea i manaʻoʻiʻo i ka loaʻaʻana o ke gula maʻaneʻi (ʻoiaiʻo kāna mau hana i ka loaʻaʻanaʻaʻole i loaʻa ka maikaʻi). ʻO ka maka'āinana kaulana loa o nā mea a pau, he mea kānalua nōʻo ke Keʻena o ke Akua, no laila i kapaʻia no ka mea i manaʻoʻia heʻano like me kaʻike o ke Akua ma luna o ka mahinaʻaiʻoʻEdena.
Aia ma ka palena hema o ka'āina mālama'āina, ka nānāʻana i nā pali kuʻikuʻi i nānā aku i ka poʻe haʻahaʻa, e hāʻawi ana i kahi mākaʻikaʻi hikiʻole ke hoʻokuʻuʻia ma luna o ka Mākele National Kruger i nā palena Lembombo mamao ma ka palenaʻo Mozambique.
ʻO nā mea nui'ē aʻe kekahi i nā kahawai wai nui. ʻO kekahi o nā mea kaulana loa,ʻo iaʻo Kadishi Tufa Waterfall,ʻo ka wailele maikaʻi lua ma ka honua a me ka home o ka "kūmākena i ke alo o ka natura", i hanaʻia e nā hīnaʻi wai e hāʻule ana i nā papa pōhaku e like me keʻano o ke kanaka.
Nā mea e hana ai ma ka muliwaiʻo Blyde
ʻO ke ala maikaʻi loa eʻike ai i ka nani o ke kahawai ka mea e holo ai i ka Panorama Route, kahi e pili ana i nā hiʻohiʻona hiʻi loa o ka wahi-e like meʻekolu Rondavels, ke Keʻena o ke Akua a me ka Bourke's Luck Potholes. E hoʻomaka i ke kauhale kauhale o Graskop a hahai i ka R532 ma ka'ākau, ma hope o nā wahi i kākauʻia i nā mea nānā. ʻO keʻano'ē aʻe,ʻo nā kaʻa helicopter o ke kuamo (e like me nā mea i hāʻawiʻia e ka Leo Lion Sands Game Reserve), e hāʻawi i kahiʻike mālie e hikiʻole ke hoʻopoina.
Ma keʻano he nui o nā ala hele wāwae i loko o ka mālama'āina eʻaeʻoe e nānā i ka wāwae. No kaʻike pilikino maoli, e noʻonoʻo e pili ana i ke kahawaiʻo Blyde River Canyon Hiking Trail, kahi e mākaʻikaʻi i ka hapalua o ke kula'āina a me nā palapala o nā'āina pono'ī. Laweʻekolu ia i nā lāʻelima, me ka pō pō e hoʻolakoʻia e nā huts ma ke ala. ʻOiai e hiki iāʻoe ke hele wale i ke ala ma oʻoe wale nō,ʻo ke ala maikaʻi loa e hana ai pēlā me kahi alakaʻi e like me nā mea i hāʻawiʻia e Bicde River Safaris.
Hiki i ka hui like ke hoʻonohonoho i ka lehulehu o nā hana'ē aʻe, e like me ka hoʻokele mauna, ka holo lio, ka hoʻouluʻana, ka lawaiʻa lele, ka pale pale wela a me ke kiʻekiʻe o ka luʻu paka. Hāpaiʻia ka lawaiʻa Waiwai Waiwai a me ka holoʻana o ka moku i ka Blyderivierspoort Dam.
Kahi e noho ai
Hoʻopauʻia ka poʻe malihini kipa i ke kahawaiʻo Blyde River no ke kohoʻiaʻana e pili ana i ka nohoʻana, me nā koho mai nā hale hoʻolālā maikaʻiʻole i nā hale liʻiliʻi. ʻO kekahi o nā koho maikaʻi loa,ʻo Thaba Tsweni Lodge, kahi hoʻokipa Pilikāne a me ka Hale o ka Hale AhVangati. Hiki i loko o kahiʻokoʻa hiki ke kaʻawale loa o ka Waikaina Waterfall kaulanaʻo Thaba Tsweni he koho ā-heluʻekolu me nā hale hoʻokipa a me nā mea'Āina Pākīpika e loaʻa ana no ka hoʻonohonoho mua. He mea kaulana loa kēia hale noho no kona hiki ke hoʻolālā i nā hana no kāna mau malihini, aʻo ka hapanui o lākou e pili ana me Blyde River Safaris.
ʻO ka Replica 1800s hale hoʻokipaʻO kahi Pilgrim's Rest ka mea e hōʻehaʻeha ai i ka hala o ka'āina me konaʻano hoʻokipa hoʻokipa nani loa a me kahi kūpono ma ka puʻu o Graskop. He kumu nui loa ia e hoʻomaka ai i kāu hanaʻo Blyde River Canyon, a hāʻawi aku i ka WiFi me ke kaʻa pūnaewele. No ka pāʻana o ka leʻaleʻa hoʻopukaʻole, e noʻonoʻo i ka hale Haleʻo UVangati ma ka'ākau o ka muliwaiʻo Blyde. Maanei, nā kuhi o ke kuahiwi e hāʻawi i nā hale kūʻokoʻa me nā kaha nani, oiai ka hale nui e pili ana i kahi kaukau, kahi paʻi no nāʻahaʻaina al fresco a he hale waina no nāʻahaʻaina hoʻolimalima.
